An Oireachtas Committee has recommended more be done to move people who have had asylum applications granted out of direct provision. The Public Accounts Committee found almost 800 people who have been granted asylum are stuck in direct provision. Meanwhile, the Education Minister is to visit a direct provision centre in the coming weeks to hear the views of families and young people. Three post primary places have been found and work is continuing to place the remaining children in primary school. Minister Mc Hugh says he wants to work with others to address the educational needs of asylum seekers.
